I come up with new ways to try to get computers to understand people. So far they just think we're jerks.

How do large language models(LLMs) perform on out-of-distribution health datasets? Do tropical and infectious diseases serve as an out-of-distribution case to test LLMs? Does performance demonstrate potential use for global health surveillance? Check out our blog to learn more🦟

Check out our latest work on Contextual Evaluation of Large Language Models for Tropical and Infectious Diseases (https://t.co/CVzyk9EgDS), accepted at two NeurIPS workshops: GenAI4health (https://t.co/rlJL9uInfe) and AIM-FM (https://t.co/hjjIfgc5YF).

🎉 We are excited to present two recent works detailing the landscape of AI in health in Africa from a fairness and equity angle:

The Nteasee Study https://t.co/8p8r1TFIez

and

The Case for Globalizing Fairness https://t.co/iV3stqXeud (1/11)

Cardiotocography (CTG) is a technique used to monitor fetal well-being. Today we describe how ML models can assess CTGs to predict measures of fetal well-being to potentially assist healthcare providers, reducing burden & improving fetal outcomes. https://t.co/9gXdKFsBhc

Excited to share that our paper on a toolbox for surfacing health equity harms and biases in large language models has been published in Nature Medicine. This work presents datasets for bias assessment and compares health equity expert ratings and clinician ratings. Check it out!

Very excited to be in Vienna at #ICML2024 as a general chair -- with Program Chairs Katherine Heller @kat_heller and Zico Kolter @zicokolter (minus Nuria Oliver @nuriaoliver and Adrian Weller @adrian_weller).

I would like thank PCs, and the entire program committee and staff, for their invaluable contributions to making this a successful conference.

It's often hard to see how much time, effort, and dedication goes into every aspect behind the scenes: from assembling the full program committee and following up with reviewers and area chairs, to meticulously evaluating final decisions of every submitted paper (close to 10,000 of them!), and crafting the full conference schedule while coordinating seamlessly with various program committee members.

So thank you Katherine, Nuria, Zico, and Adrian for making this happen!

[Zico Kolter @zicokolter]

Welcome to @icmlconf 2024! The PC (minus @nuriaoliver and @adrian_weller) are here and excited to kick things off! @kat_heller @rsalakhu

#ICML2024 authors
Rebuttals are due by Mar 28 23:59 AoE.
If you think helpful, you can use an anonymous public link to additional material such as figures (even a whole revised manuscript if you want). Reviewers are not required to look at this additional material.

The @icmlconf 2024 Ethics Chairs, @KLdivergence and @DrLaurenOR, wrote a blog about the ethics review. Helpful for all authors and reviewers at ICML to better understand the process! https://t.co/OnkunUcmCg . . .

[Zico Kolter @zicokolter]

That's a wrap on #ICML2024 submissions! 🎉 Initial count is 9,653 submissions, including 220 position paper submission ... (the count will certainly be adjusted in coming days, but for reference, ICML 2023 had 6,538 submissions 😮)

[Zico Kolter @zicokolter]

We have been receiving a few questions about the @icmlconf #ICML2024 Impact Statement in submissions, so made a short post about it here: https://t.co/E7dZqpcvLw

Hopefully this is helpful to people trying to understand whether to include anything in this section.

@atulbutte @alexhanna @Stanford This looks like administrators hiding behind “the system”. At the end of the day, they were the ones responsible for this prioritization, and are accountable. If they create a policy, not on a computer, they can’t say “the policy did it”, why can they when there’s a computer?

@hannawallach Awwww feel better!!

[Katherine Heller @kat_heller]

@hannawallach I am :)

@NotTriggerAtAll @haldaume3 I’ve watched so many of my Google colleagues move to open ai, but I can not think of a single woman. I’ve been joking for a long time that they only hire men. I’ve also worried about the implications on gender related compensation at Google because of matched offers.

Today we describe our exploratory work to build MS Signals, a symptom tracking app for multiple sclerosis that's based on the FDA MyStudies platform, which we expanded and enhanced to create a more streamlined and accessible experience. Check it out at https://t.co/OJonkK0dqA
